Important Hair Disorders

Hi,
They are some Important Hair Disorders and signs:

Male-pattern baldness commonly occurs from the second decade. Hair is lost first from the temporal regions, frontal area, and the crown
.
Alopecia areata  is associated with autoimmune disorders and occurs in the second or third decade. Sharply defi ned, noninflammatory bald patches appear on the scalp. There may be exclamation-mark hairs thinner at the base. This also affects the eyebrows and beard. Nails may be slow growing and show pitting.
Alopecia totalis  is a loss of hair from all areas of the scalp.
Alopecia universalis  is a loss of all body hair.
Telogen effluvium:  Normally, hairs grow and shed at different times and different rates. A severe illness, high fever, pregnancy, and, more commonly, child-birth may synchronize all the hair follicles, causing them to shed at the same time, about 3 months later. This gives a brief total hair loss that grows back.
Scarring alopecia:  Inflammatory lesions causing hair loss include lichen planus, burns, and infection.
